Hurricane Florence continues to track toward the Carolina coast, but a more southerly track could mean Pennsylvania will be spared from the brunt of the storm's effects.

As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, the storm had sustained winds of 125 mph and was moving NW at 16 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm is still expected to make landfall on the Carolina coast on Friday.

The storm is expected to then move to the west, far south of Pennsylvania.

"It's taking this more southerly track, and would make a whole lot less trouble for central Pennsylvania," said Mike Dangelo, a meteorologist with National Weather Service in State College.

Instead, moisture from the storm could makes its way to the region into next week, which could bring showers.

Dangelo noted, however, that the effects would not be severe, and the timing as to when the rain will arrive is still in question.

The storm has resulted in millions of people evacuating or preparing for when the storm does make landfall.
